A - correct idiom is Jast as ....so
C - Which is non essential clause so need a comma before it
D - while is used to show contrast not similarities
E - sound awkward 'giving of polio vaccine'

Correct
B - comares similarties between two nouns Polio vaccine and mass dietary chang.

Btw - what is OA

(B) is correct

like polio vaccine, which is given to every person to protect the few who might contract polio, mass dietary change is needed to protect the significant number who are susceptible to the life-threatening effects of press eating habits.

Which correctly refers to PV.

also if we remove the phrase in between, the sentence reads like PV, MDC

PV & MDC are nouns and like is needed.


Agree with s_raizada with explanations

B mistakenly implies that polio vaccine is needed to protect...
C which should never be preceded by a noun without a preposition or comma
D is choppy and the use of while is confusing, as there is no contrast or simultaneity
E is awkward and verbose, actually is misplaced, lack of parallel structure

In the expression Just as..., so.... the word so is optional

Lets look at option B :like polio vaccine, which is given to every person to protect the few who might contract polio


LIKE is used to compare noun or noun phrase .

Here we are comparing "polio vaccine" with "mass dietary change" Is that correct is "mass dietary change" a noun ?

I dont think so .

In fact if you look at B its comparing polio vaccine with the complete clause "mass dietary change is needed to protect the significant number who are susceptible to the life-threatening effects of press eating habits."

Also if you look at the sentence in orange above is marked off by comma making it non essential phrase which is in fact essential to make sense with sentence .

Please let me know if I am wrong.
